Pick'em pool rules
Everything you need to know to play
ProdeLibre is a sports prediction game. Each participant predicts match results and earns points based on how accurate their predictions are.
Whoever has the most points when the competition ends wins.
Before the competition starts, you can make bonus predictions that earn extra points:
| Prediction | Points |
|---|---|
| Champion — Pick the team that wins the competition | Per competition |
| Top scorer — Pick the top scorer | Per competition |
| Advancing teams — Pick the 2 teams that advance from each group | Pts per hit |
| Semifinalists — Pick the 4 teams that reach the semifinals | Pts per hit |
Bonus predictions lock when the first match of the competition kicks off. Enter them before: once locked they cannot be changed — not even by group admins. The points for each bonus are set by the competition and are the same for every group.
Top scorer: the competition's official top scorer is used. Goals in play count (90' and extra time); penalty shootout goals do not. If two or more players finish tied on goals, all of them count: anyone who picked any of them earns the points.
In some competitions you get an x2 multiplier that doubles the points of a match.
- Activate it by tapping the x2 button under the prediction, before the match kicks off.
- If you get the exact score, you earn 6 puntos instead of 3. If you get the winner, you earn 2 instead of 1.
- You get a limited number of x2s per competition. Use them wisely.
- You can turn the x2 on and off as many times as you like before the match starts.
- If you miss completely, the x2 neither adds nor subtracts — you stay at 0 points for that match.
Until when can I enter a prediction?
Until the match kicks off. Once it starts, you can no longer enter or change your prediction for that match.
Can I change a prediction I already entered?
Yes, you can change it as many times as you like as long as the match has not started.
What happens if I do not enter a prediction?
You earn no points for that match. No default prediction is assigned.
How are ties broken in the standings?
Si dos jugadores tienen los mismos puntos, queda primero el que tenga más resultados exactos. Si siguen empatados, el que tenga más aciertos de ganador/empate, después mayor porcentaje de acierto, y por último más partidos pronosticados.
Ejemplo: con 6 partidos y 6 puntos cada uno, queda primero el que acertó 2 marcadores exactos sobre el que acertó 6 ganadores sin ningún exacto. La idea es premiar al que se la jugó al resultado preciso.
What about matches with extra time or penalties?
Se toma el resultado del partido jugado, incluida la prórroga si la hubo. Solo los penales no cuentan: si un partido de eliminación termina empatado y se define por penales, para el pronóstico vale ese empate, sin importar quién ganó la tanda.
Cuando hay penales, te mostramos el resultado de la tanda entre paréntesis al lado del marcador (por ejemplo 1-1 (4-2)), pero es solo informativo: no suma ni resta puntos.
Are bonus predictions mandatory?
No, they are optional. But they are a good way to earn extra points.
What is the x2 multiplier?
In some competitions you can activate an x2 multiplier on specific matches before they kick off. If you do, the points you earn in that match are doubled. You get a limited number of x2s per competition, so choose carefully which matches to use them on.
What are groups?
Groups let you compete with your friends. Create a group, share the invite code, and compete among yourselves. You can be in several groups at once.
Is there a limit on users per group?
The suggested size is up to 5,000 members per group. You can add more, but the experience may get slower and the standings harder to read. For companies, communities or larger groups, contact us through the contact form.
Can I predict knockout matches?
Knockout-stage matches unlock automatically once the ties are set. While the teams show as "TBD", you cannot enter a prediction.
